This is probably past the peak, but for awhile there maybe 5 to 6 years ago I felt like every baby girl I met was named Grace or had Grace as a middle name.

I love both these names and have never had a kindergarten student with either.

Also, Gen X-er here: it’s funny listening to these names, which are all names of my peers or our parents. Guessing most of you here are in your 20s-30s, so it’s funny how trends shift.

I speak Portuguese and this name is the word for Mrs. I just can’t get over that.

It’s just like Ella/Elle is the word for she in French/Spanish/Portuguese. I also don’t like those names. It’s especially odd to be the people who use Elle because they love France and want a French sounding name. It’s just so weird to me.
